Hi, virt-manager is runnig on the KVM Host. I want to do something like method-1 instead of method-2. --[Method 1]-- <User Client PC>: + Windows PC with Remote Desktop Client or + Linux with Terminal Server Client <KVM Host>: + CentOS or Red Hat Linux + Virt Manager + Guest OS + XRDP (Remote Desktop Server) instead of --[Method 2]-- <User Client PC>: + Windows PC with VNCviewer or + Linux with VNCviewer <KVM Host>: + CentOS or Red Hat Linux + Virt Manager + Guest OS + VNC Server - Hisao On 02/13/2012 11:36 AM, Trey Dockendorf wrote:

Hi,
I am trying to operate the remote KVM host's virt-manager thru Terminal Server Client.
This KVM hosts is CentOS6.0 and running KVM guest and xrdp is installed from "epel" repo. And I'm using fedora 14's Terminal Server Client.
After I started Virtual Machine Manager and try to connect to the hypervisor, following error happened. Is there any way to resolve this error? I know that when I use VNC server , this error does not happened, but I want to use Terminal Server rather than VNC, because this doesn't need extra software for windows client PCs.

Is virt-manager running on the kvm host or guest?
If its the guest you cant connect to local host. The VM is not aware its a VM so you have to connect to the KVM server using the remote connection URI. Like this ..
qemu+ssh://user@kvmhost.tld/
Id recommend looking up setting a normal user to manage KVM so you can use SSH + auth key.
